SmtpTalk

public class SmtpTalk extends Object implements SysExits
SMTP talker class, usable standalone (as a SendMail(8) backend) or inside applications such as JabaDex that need to send mail.. OBSOLETE!! Use javax.mail instead, now that it's available! Needs more parameterization - bit of a hack to start. Should use same interface as Mailer (subclass, and override doSend()).
